Note; FET's are Taiwanese, unlike our TURNIGYesc which use USA FET's. So we suggest customers to not draw more than the 50A rated capacity.
The funny thing I didn't get answer here so I contacted hk customer support an they told me it would work for a plane so I bought it. Waste of money because it won't work!!
after reading reviews on hobby sites i would suggest going with the Turnigy Plush 60 amp ESC. I know this one is cheap mut on a heli some thing are not good to go cheap on Like Esc. Turnigy is a hobbyking name brand seems to be there upgraded versions of the hobbyking name branded items who knows.
Nope. You'll need to solder on bullet connectors and battery connector yourself. It's really easy. There are a few videos on Youtube that'll help if you search for them.
I used this ESC on my EXI 450 PRO, and it works fine, but one time when I turned off the transmitter while the battery on the Heli was still connected, the ESC turned on the motor to full throttle. Is this an ESC programming issue?
Vince:
Not usually normal for the ESC to get hot but sometimes a lil warm. What size battery are you using and did you run it prior to it starting to get hot.

Your battery cannot supply enough current to your esc/motor combo. I would not use less than a 30c for a 2200mah size lipo. Your current lipo can only supply a maximum of 44amps continuously.
Hi I have a problem with this esc, I use this on Hk-450 hely. The problem is: when i switch to idle-up 1 (75% throttle) the motor gain it's speed but when i switch to idle-up2 (95% throttle) the speed doesn't increase and if i return to idle-up1 the speed decrease. So i suppose that the 100% of throttle isn't matched whit 100% on the TX. Any one with my problem???

I've seen this happen before. Are you using a BEC? If not I recommend it. Next time check to see if your ESC and battery are a little hot. There HK ESCs get hot on high idle.
will it run all my servos at 6v or just 3v I don't understand on this. or should I put a 6v battery on with it to run my servos on my 450 se v2 www.link
I am looking into a plane that requires a 20amp brushless speed controller but cant find any in the u.s. warehouse. Is it ok to use an esc rated much higher than whats required?
well u can use this but the weight of this would be like twice of that of 20amps. It is a good ESC but it's best for heli use. It has softstart for heli.
I am also a beginner . I am using the turnigy typhoon with the same kv as sheek a 2215 kv on 4 s. this is my first rc project. I had a turnigy 20 amp that caught on fire. Any advice would be helpful on this or other esc that would work
hi there,i'm biginner .can you help me to choose programming card for this ESC and it will be ok with motor brushless outruner Turnigy H2223 450/500size (#TR2223) . THANKS
Simon,
I have this ESC on my HK450v2 heli with a 2215H motor and it works fine, however I'd recommend spending a little bit more and getting maybe a Turnigy Plush 40A. I run 4 HXT900 servo's and the above motor, and this ESC gets hot while sitting idle. To answer your question, yes it will work but I don't recommend this one unless you're on a very tight budget.
Also don't forget 3mm bullet connectors and some heatshrink for this, as it doesn't come with connectors installed.

This ESC is not suitable for planes. Soft start is not programmable like the description says, so there is a 3 second ramp up time when you hit the throttle! This probably works for helis, but DOES NOT WORK FOR PLANES

It's a pretty good ESC for the money. Cheaper than most esc's. I'm using it on a trex 450 clone with a 4s battery. Does get a bit hot, but it works. I don't have equipment to officially test it, but it seems to get the job done.
